Horn and Siegfried Fischbacher stepped back from their magic show on the Las Vegas strip after a white Bengal tiger mauled Horn in 2003.

“Siegfried & Roy send positive wishes to everyone impacted by the pandemic," Kirvin said in the statement. “We will have no further comment on Roy’s recovery at this time and ask everyone to respect his right to privacy.”
